Artist Guidelines

Pulsar Games, Inc. is a game company that produces role playing games
(RPGs). Currently we produce Blood of Heroes, a superhero and villain
role-playing game. We plan on releasing a number of sourcebooks for Blood of
Heroes, and are also working on a Sci-fi based game code named Project
Pulsar.  Interior illustrations for Blood of Heroes are exclusively pen and
ink right now, but may later include some pencil, watercolor, or marker
renderings.  Project Pulsar interior illustrations will be pen and ink, 
as well as some dark pencil work.
Everything done so far, for Blood of Heroes, has been done in pen and ink,
and dark pencil. At the moment color artwork is only needed for front and
back cover art.
Consequently, not much color work is needed at the moment.  In addition,
much of the black and white artwork presented in Blood of Heroes has been
computer colorized for book covers and promotional posters.  Computer
experience, both in computer art, layout and graphic design is always a
plus.

Now for the guidelines. We at Pulsar Games strive to put a lot of art into
our RPGs. Blood of Heroes had over 100 character drawing alone. As far as
the subject matter goes, it's totally wide open.  We generally have a idea
of what we want but leave the project fairly open; we try not to stifle the
artist.  We give them a job, and let them run with it, it's what you're
good at, right?

I encourage you to work within your own style, in Blood of Heroes work in
the comic book style is generally preferred.  You know, the style where all
the guys are muscle bound and all the women look great?  Where the
character is either striking a heroic pose, or bashing in the head of some
villain?  A little humor never hurts either.  In addition, Blood of Heroes
features some truly evil and menacing villains.  Pictures that are a
little more gritty than traditional comics are generally acceptable.   For
Project Pulsar, we prefer detailed, realistic artwork depicting futuristic
equipment and strange aliens. More info on that later...

To summarize he is what we need:

   * Able to do pen and ink drawings.
   * Someone adept at technical illustrations like spaceships, vehicles,
     armor, and weapons; alien creatures are always a plus.

If you're interested please call or send me a copy of your portfolio. 
PLEASE DO NOT SEND US YOUR WEB PAGE  ADDRESS.  WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR 
WEB PAGE, WE WANT TO SEE YOUR ART WORK.  Sending the art director your web 
address and no portfolio is the quickest way NOT to get the job.  
We don't mind if you include you web site address with a portfolio, 
but one does not substitute for the other.  
We're a little old fashion in that respect.
